Man Arrested in Assumption Parish for Juvenile Sex Crimes

In late December, a 21-year-old man from Napoleonville found himself behind bars after he was accused of committing sex crimes against a juvenile. The Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office identified the man as Marquis Williams. He was charged with two counts of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile, a serious offense that involves sexual contact with a minor. The story started in November when the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services alerted local authorities about a potential victim. Detectives in Assumption Parish took over the case and conducted a thorough investigation. Their efforts led to the issuance of arrest warrants for Williams.The arrest didn't happen immediately, as Williams was first apprehended in St. James Parish for unrelated local charges. Once those were settled, he was transferred to the Assumption Parish Detention Center on December 27th, where he would face the serious allegations against him. This case serves as a stark reminder of the crucial role that various agencies play in protecting our children. It's important to understand that accusations are just that—accusations—until proven in a court of law. Nevertheless, it underscores the gravity with which law enforcement treat such sensitive cases. Local communities are urged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities that could potentially harm children. By working together, we can create a safer environment for everyone.
